Charlie Sheen is Clean, But is He Sane?
We’ve all watched as Charlie Sheen partied through countless years with drug abuse, sex addiction, and binge drinking, wondering why he still had a job. Now that he’s (allegedly) sober, however, his behavior is crazier than ever.

5 Apps Facebook Needs to Invent
There was lots of Facebook drama in the news last week when we found out that the new Breakup Notifier was kicked off Facebook. Even though we thought this app was an amazing/creepy idea, it still didn’t solve all of our Facebook woes. There’s still some work to be done — and now that some space in the app market has cleared up, we had a few ideas of our own.
Surprisingly Cute: LL Bean [GALLERY]
When you hear LL Bean, what comes to mind? For me it’s hunting gear and unbreakable, sturdy (read: ugly) shoes, neither of which I want in my closet. In fact, the last thing I got from LL Bean was one of those backpacks that had my initials stitched into it. And that was 5 years ago.
Surviving Senior Year: The Pre-Post-Grad Crisis
Which is probably not a term you’ve heard all that often, especially since I’m 90% sure that I just made it up. So let me explain. The symptoms are not all that different from a post-grad crisis, except I’m not actually a post-grad yet. I’m a senior, a few months from graduation and I have absolutely no idea what comes next.
Dear Miley, It’s Time to Help Yourself
Dear Miley Cyrus (and other teenagers across America intent on destroying any modicum of talent you possess by making extremely foolish decisions), I used to not like you. Actually, I’ll cut the crap. I wanted your vocal chords removed. Or at least have you banished to some remote part of the world where I wouldn’t have to be subject to your ubiquity on TV, on the radio, in magazines and sold-out concert venues.
How to Pack Light for Spring Break
Baggage fees are beyond outrageous now, so the ultimate goal for any traveler is to pack as many things as possible into as few bags as possible. However, Spring Break is the time when you want to show off your killer tan and fabulous fashion finds all week long so it presents quite the problem for the spring breaker on the budget.

Body Blog: Step Away from the Artificial Sweeteners!
I have something to share with you. Something many of you don’t want to hear (ignorance is bliss, right?), but something you all need to hear. Something that goes against everything we’ve been taught our whole lives. Something that is going to rock your world. You ready for it?
The 2011 Oscars Fashion Recap
But we all know we don’t watch the Oscars for the show itself. The fashion – from the dresses to the jewels to the shoes – is what really matters. Especially when it’s James Franco wearing all three. Anyways, in case you missed it or didn’t get enough of my quips during the liveblog, check out the most memorable looks from last night’s show.

The Weekly Ten: YouTube Sensations
So it’s Monday morning. You’re already late. There are a million things you should be doing right now. But really, you just want to sip your latte until you’re more awake and hold off on starting this week a little bit longer, right? Right.
Oscars Liveblog
The time has come! After hours upon hours in dark movie theaters, countless boxes of Sour Patch Kids and probably 17 Rachel Zoe red carpet dress meltdowns (literally), The 83rd Annual Academy Awards are finally here! And we couldn’t be more excited – for the couture, for the Best Film category, and for the delicious Thai food we just had delivered (Love you, fresh rolls!).

You didn’t leave all your work until Sunday night did you? What!?! You did. That’s okay. No stress. You’ll get it all done. We’re so sure that you’ll get it all done that we’re giving you a few more excuses to procrastinate. This week we’re taking a trip down memory lane and remembering all your favorite childhood chants and songs. You know, the ones that would drive your mom crazy.
Men Explained, Kinda.
The majority of us have been trying to decode boy behavior since we turned 13, and upon hitting legal drinking age, haven’t made much progress. I’m still as confused as ever, especially about how obsessed guys are with sex, like why do they like being woken up with a BJ? But morning lovin’ isn’t the only thing I’m confused about, it might be everything related to sex, including sizing issues.
CollegeCandy Gets Cleansed, Day 3
So, I decided to do a 3-day Cooler Cleanse and here’s why. My first day was fun! Exciting! Refreshing! And then I woke up for Day 2 feeling a bit too much like the morning after my 21st birthday. Except I did feel a whole lot lighter (thanks to the healthy juices/lack of an entire birthday cake at 3am).
